Winemaking
A trip to the forest can end very fruitfully. In Polish forests we will find not only raspberries and blueberries, but also blackberries, increasingly appreciated for their properties. These juicy, aromatic fruits are not only ingredients of many preserves such as jams and compotes. Wild blackberries are a desirable ingredient in many wines (both pure blackberry wines and blends).
Blackberry wine delights with its flavor and color. It is a drink that should not be missing from the cellar after a hot summer. It lets you recall warm days and forest trips that pay off over time. The recipe for blackberry wine is very simple. Step by step we will show you how to prepare this fruit drink yourself, which wine yeast to choose, and when to rack it so that your homemade wine impresses all your guests.
Preparation:
Separate the fruit from the stems and wash them thoroughly. Then lightly crush the blackberries, add Pectoenzyme and the yeast prepared beforehand (according to the instructions on the package). Leave everything for 2 days. Then press the fruit.
Divide the sugar into two equal portions that you will use to prepare a sugar syrup. Add the first portion of syrup after pressing the fruit. One portion of syrup should contain 1 kg of sugar and 1.5 L of water (you can heat the water to dissolve the sugar more easily, but before pouring it into the must remember to cool the syrup). Also add half of the portion of nutrient.
The total amount of water added to the must (both to the fruit and for preparing the sugar syrups) should be 3 L.
Cover the demijohn with a bung fitted with an airlock. After 6–8 days, add another portion of sugar syrup (1 kg sugar + 1.5 L water) and the remaining nutrient. Leave to ferment further for about 4 weeks. After this time, you can rack the wine off the sediment and leave it for the so-called secondary (quiet) fermentation until it finishes. Of course, at this point you can adjust the taste (add sugar if needed). When the wine stops releasing gas and is clear, transfer it to bottles and enjoy the drink you made.
